Privacy is still an occuring event
As I read through this article it was interesting because it seems that Zuckerberg isn't to concerned with privacy and makes it seem like to will attend to it on his on time. Also this article appears to explain that will the privacy issue ever go away? To me not everyone can be pleased but I believe Zuckerberg should be a little more active with privacy since that is everyone's biggest concern when it comes to Facebook.

Social Facebook
The article, "Does Facebook Make Someone Social Offline?," says that in teenagers and young adults, facebook has helped connect with friends whom they would have lost touch with when gone off to college or that have moved away. Facebook studies were shown to help stay in touch with family members and "far-flun" friends. Though you're being indirectly social, a person is still being social and the effect eventually leads to being directly social. For friends to be allowed to share photos, posts and updates about themselves thats how friends and family keep up with one another and stay close.

"The Social Network" Review
With Adult Dramas Raking In Cash, ‘The Social Network’ Will Resurface in Theaters
By BROOKS BARNES
Merrick Morton/Columbia Pictures Andrew Garfield and Jesse Eisenberg in “The Social Network.”Whenever a batch of movies of the same type hits the skids at the box office studios run for cover and declare the genre dead. Currently the romantic comedy is getting that treatment, with the most recent casualty being Sony’s bloated “How Do You Know,” a rom-com that cost an estimated $120 million to make and has had ticket sales of just $25.6 million.
No format has been more maligned in recent years than the adult drama, and for good reason. Among the recent casualties: “Charlie St. Cloud,” “Remember Me,” “Hereafter,” “Extraordinary Measures,” “Duplicity,” “The Soloist,” “The Lovely Bones.”
But something extraordinary has happened this fall: Adult dramas are rocking the box office. “The Town,” Ben Affleck’s bank robbery caper, has generated more than $144 million at the global box office. “Black Swan” just crossed the $50 million mark and “The Fighter” is a whisker behind. “True Grit” is on fire, selling more than $90 million in tickets in two weeks of release.
And then there is “The Social Network,” an Oscar front-runner that is poised to cross the $200 million mark in the coming days. Sony Pictures Entertainment announced on Wednesday that it planned to re-release the film in North America on Friday, in time to give it a fresh injection of momentum on the awards trail and promote sales of the DVD.
It’s not a mystery why these films are doing well, producers say.
“They’re just good,” Scott Rudin, the producer of “True Grit” and “The Social Network” told Deadline.com. “I also don’t buy the idea that audiences don’t enjoy dramas. I think that audiences historically have just not responded to weak films.”
Also contributing to the genre’s success, at least when it comes to the bottom line is that rather than overspending, as is their usual practice, studios have kept costs to a minimum. “The Town” cost $37 million to make. “Black Swan” was made for $13 million, while “The Fighter” cost $25 million.” “True Grit” and “The Social Network” respectively cost $38 million and $40 million.
